User questions & answers

Question:	Is 6 oz ok for my 80cc bike I have a 1 gal tank and I need 20:1 for after breaking in and 16:1 for breaking in need a response fast I need oil
Answer:	you can make the mix what ever you want just read the mix instructions
Question:	I have never used this before. Do i need to buy anything else for my trimmer
Answer:	I assume you have a 2 cycle trimmer. Read the manual on the correct oil/gas mixture. Most American built trimmers use a 40:1 or 50:1 mixture. 40:1 is 2.6 oz. per gallon. A little less oil if 50:1. Chinese 2 cycle motors still use 25:1 or 20:1 oil mixture. Use 5.1 oz. of oil per gallon of gas for 25:1 or a little more if 20:1 mixture.
Question:	How many gallons will this treat if one whole 16 oz bottle is used
Answer:	I use 50:1. That takes 2 oz per gallon so I get 8 gallons per bottle. It is great having the squeeze section so you can precisely measure before filling gas can.
Question:	What size (oz) is the measure cup on top? Say I neeeded 3.2 oz
Answer:	It has numerous markings including 32 to 1 or 3.2 oz there is a graduated scale on the side, loosen the cap and squeeze gently until the desired amount is reached. Should you decide to go with this, I used a sharpie to highlight the markings to make then easier to read

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I make it 25:1 ratio
Answer:	Usually the ratio is 50:1, that's a little container of two cycle oil (2.6 oz) to one gallon of gas. To make 25:1 use the 2.6 oz two cycle oil to a 1/2 gallon of gas. That's the simple way. I just got a two cycle engine that's Chinese made and this appears to be the trend so I tend to think it may be important to get the extra oil in the mix just to be safe.
Question:	Does this product contain Fuel Stabilizer
Answer:	Yes, it does contain Fuel Stabilizer. Great for off season to help jets from getting clogged and keeping fuel fresh. Highly recommended. Its what I use in all my 2 stroke motors.
Question:	Is this a synthetic oil? If not I bought it for nothing
Answer:	It states right on the bottle's label that it's a synthetic blend, which typically means it's part petroleum and part synthetic. I've been using the Echo branded 50:1 oil in my Echo weedeater (now 18 years old) and Echo leaf blower (now 20 years old), and with seasonal maintenance and proper care, both still start and run like they did when they were new.
Question:	First time user...what are the directions
Answer:	One gallon of gas to one 2.6 oz bottle of oil equals the 50 to 1 ratio.

User questions & answers

Question:	I realize that this works in a 50:1, but can it be used in a
Answer:	I am not in a place to "second guess" the manufacturer of your device, but I know that oil products have improved over the years. I was a hands-on mechanic with 2-stroke equipment for a lot of years and I've seen the required mix go from 20:1 to 50:1 and higher. Some of this is due to the materials used in the equipment and some of this is due to the fact that newer oils have higher film strength. I believe this Stihl product is a full synthetic oil. I don't believe that running this stuff at the 50:1 ratio will hurt anything, but I also believe that increasing the mix ratio on this stuff to 40:1 will not cause problems with your current equipment and might only show itself as an occasional fouled spark plug.
Question:	Why is the same package only $14.99 in the little hardware in town
Answer:	Yeah. I just bought mine for $1.95 each locally.
Question:	Can this product be stored in below freezing temperatures during the winter
Answer:	Absolutely! It stays in my shed all winter and I have to say that since switching my machines to this synthetic oil they have never ran better. I have been using full synthetic oil in my vehicles since around 1980. I have NEVER had any engine issues with any of my vehicles and some of them I have racked up over 200,000 miles on before I traded them away.
Question:	Why is this $5 more then in a retail store
Answer:	I just paid $1.99/ea at Ace - the expensive hardware store. And the chain oil that's $42+ here? I paid $15.99. I've been noticing a lot of stuff is cheaper at the store lately.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the top part have a marking to make it easy to measure 2.6 oz
Answer:	Yes, it measures from 1.0 to 3.2 oz.
Question:	What is the shelf life of this oil
Answer:	I have been making a 40:1 mix from two of these bottles for about 5 years without any issues. This oil has fuel stabilizers added to keep the mixed gas/oil mix fresh for about a year.
Question:	Is this a synthetic 2 Cycle oil
Answer:	It is a synthetic blend, so it is not 100% synthetic. Works great in chainsaws, leaf blowers and string trimmers.
Question:	It says for all 32:1 ratio. my manual says i need 30:1. how should i mix it
Answer:	OK, per 1 gallon (=128 fl.oz.), you need (128/32) 4.0 oz. of oil for a 32:1 mix. So a 30:1 mix would require (128/30) 4.27 oz. of oil per gallon. Best of luck measuring that last quarter ounce! Frankly, I wouldn't worry overmuch about being that accurate ...

User questions & answers

Question:	I used jones red oil in the past. it’s been a year since i have mixed gas. do i need to be concerned about compatibility
Answer:	If the gas is a year old you need to throw it out
Question:	Will this work on a 3cycle rotertiller
Answer:	Don't think there has ever been a 3 cycle motor. If you mean 2 cycle rototiller it will work fine.
Question:	Can this be used in 40:1 machines
Answer:	I run this mix at 40-1 in all 3 of my Husqvarna chainsaws two of the call for 50-1 mix. I used to run it at 32-1 as one of my saws, a 1978 husky 480 CD requires 40-1. I prefer to keep my saws around for a while and not have them seize up.
Question:	first time having to use this - may be a dumb question but I have to mix with gasoline correct
Answer:	Correct. If using this your machine is most likely a 2 stroke machine. You need to find out what ratio the manufacturer recomends for the machine you are using it in. Mix the gas and oil to the correct ratio and then add it to the machine. I recommend getting a small 1 gallon gas can specifically for your mixed solution. Gas nowadays goes bad quick, so if you are not using much, only mix around 1 gallon at a time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this truly a 6pk? does this replace- husqvarna 2.6 oz low smoke formula 2-cycle engine oil 6-pack
Answer:	The one I bought was a six pack. Not sure on your replacement question. I used this oil in my Husky backpack blower and Husky chainsaw. Works great. Hint: I was a professional tree trimmer for many years. One thing we learned with the newer generation of high rev saws such as Stihl and Huskys was to mix the oil a little heavier than called for. The way we did it was to use a gallon can to mix in. We put a little gas in first and then poured in the oil and shook it up good. Then pour a little gas in the now empty oil bottle, put the cap on and shake it good and pour that in the gallon can. We did that a couple times to get every bit of the oil. We then put the rest of the gas in the gallon can, but we didn't quite fill it all the way to the gallon line. The end result was the saw would put out just a bit of smoke. Which is a good thing when using these high revving engines. Kept them from seizing up under hard use, and more so in the summer.
Question:	Is this oil jaso fd certified
Answer:	yes and it ha s performed very well for me
Question:	is this a six pack or 1 (2.6 oz) bottle
Answer:	Yes, it is. (From the write up on Amazon— "Product description: Husqvarna HP High Performance 2 Stroke Oil 2.6oz 6 Pack"... so when I ordered it I was expecting 6 and was NOT disappointed. So YES: it is a blister pack of 6 each 2.6 ounce Husqvarna HP High Performance 2 Stroke Oil.)
Question:	would this oil work for my electrial genarator
Answer:	If only it requires oil mix for gasoline. I have the generator and it just requires regular unleaded gasoline not the oil mix. Read the manual for the generator?

Question:	can this oil be used in a 2 cycle chainsaw
Answer:	not sure I am using it in oil injected 4 wheeler ( 2 cycle)
Question:	Looking for a 2 cycle oil for an 1990 Mercury Mariner, can I use a synthetic blend in it without risking anything
Answer:	I ran it in older 1995 Johnson and a 1998 Merc 200. When I sold them and bought a new 4 stroke I gave what had left and it was a few gallons. My friend has vintage 2 stroke MC and 80s Johnson. We have had good luck with the Pennzoil blends. I get less smoke. I have also used it in actually a 35 Mariner again 80's and 2 stroke lawn equipment. Never had a problem. Be careful not to switch to straight synthetic, that can be tricky but you should be fine with blend. You can always check with the engine manufacturer. G
